Although some aspects of pre-Roman and pre-Christian beliefs remain shrouded in mystery, the author of this comprehensive, profusely illustrated volume contends that neither the Ro man invasion of Britain nor the coming of Christianity eliminated pagan religious practice.

She employs archaeological and anthropoligical evidence, as well as folklore, to provide broad insight into the early Celtic world. Show more
